The Caddo Nation's Historic Preservation Office is co-hosting the 23rd Annual Bridging the Gap Meeting on April 1-4, 2024 at the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  The To Bridge A Gap Meeting was established in 2001 to strengthen government-to-government relationships between the U.S. Forest Service and federally recognized tribal governments on a variety of cultural and natural resource management issues.  Today, the meeting has grown to over 300 attendees from over 20 tribes and numerous Federal and state agencies.  The general sessions will cover topics on NAGPRA, NHPA, ARPA, Tribal Archaeology, stewardship, and protection of sacred places and natural resources.

We are excited to bring Bridging The Gap back to an in-person meeting this year! If you are experiencing any Covid symptoms such as fever, body aches, coughing, nausea, loss of taste or smell, and/or other symptoms, please refrain from coming to the event. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
